Well, I just visited Tuck yesterday, and yes, they do look favorably upon people who make the trip down. The thing is, you're going to be spending over 2k dollars for just 1 interview. If you think its worth it, go for it. I'd still try and combine it with 2-3 other class visits, or possibly other interviews if you can.


Can you share a bit more about your experience in your vist to Tuck?

Nothing major to say. Sadly, I couldn't do a class visit, cause the FYs are on break for the week. Campus is gorgeous though and people were really friendly. I had my interview in the morning, a lunch with students after, a tour of campus and a Q&A with the Admissions Director. They were genuinely happy I made the trip down, in fact one of the questions in my interview was about living in Hanover for 2 years. That said, there were a lot of people who did travel down from China, India etc. The response to my post-interview note also thanked me for making the trip.

Its up to you if you want to visit, I would recommend not doing it for just one single interview. But if you can make a trip out of it, sit in on a class and visit 1-2 other schools then go for it. My visits to business schools were super worth it, some schools I wasn't considering as seriously are at the top of my list and vice-versa.

I visited Tuck for my interview in early September and generally had a good experience. Some of the programming was helpful while others were not. After my interview, I had a class visit, lunch with students, campus tour, and admissions Q&A. The class visit was helpful to get a sense of what professors are like and what cold calling looks like. Since it was the first week of classes, it was also helpful to understand how the quarter system works in terms of midterms and assignments. The lunch with students and admissions Q&A were less helpful. The students were first years so they had only been on campus for 2 weeks or so. They shared what those two weeks were like (spoiler alert, really really intense) but beyond that were not able to share much. I had also already submitted my app and, clearly interviewed, so the admissions Q&A was not helpful either. Overall, I got a good feel for the school and the types of students there. I also got some of my questions about cross-University collaboration answered.

I just got invited to interview. Has anyone interviewed in Mumbai already? I am hoping to do my interview in person but the only available slots are in this week (tomorrow and day after). Are more slots expected to open up soon?

I just pulled a paragraph directly from Tuck's website:

Which Interviews Are Valued More?

All interviews carry equal importance in our evaluation process, regardless of who conducts the interview, where it is held, or how it was initiated.

I will take Tuck's statement at face value.

Cmon man you got a 44V. You should be able to do better than this. I'm not asking if interviews have differing levels of importance

And I don't doubt that all interviews ARE important. Rather Im curious about how flying to tuck is perceived by adcoms and if it increases chances. gmatclub data already suggests that just be self initiating an on campus interview your chances of admission double. So im curious if this can be extrapolated to adcom initiated interviews as well

"How much do you think doing my interview on campus would impact my chance of admission?" - I believe this is your original question, which seems to suggest that you want to know if adcom values interviews differently. If you want to know whether flying all the way from Japan to Tuck is gonna increase your chance of getting into Tuck, it may be. Every little bit helps. However, no one can predict how significant that boost can be. I also want to point out that Gmatclub data may be misleading as people turn to report their success rather than their failure.

Hey Prachi

I just checked the availability dates in the tuck interview system.

Interview dates are currently available until Nov 7

So I imagine Tuck could send interview invites up until that date.

However they may decide to add more interview spots so take this information with a grain of salt.

Any idea if the invites are still coming in? If they have stopped sending invites, when are the rejection emails due? Any information would be really appreciated.

I don't have information about this but why don't you self-initiate interview with Tuck Adcom, if possible? I just checked and noticed there are still on-campus interview slots from Nov 5 to Nov 9.

Hi all,

I am considering visiting Tuck before I apply in Round 2 later this year. The goal is to learn about the school. Has anybody been able to schedule a visit without an applicant initiated interview this Fall? The website says to contact admissions office if an applicant wants to visit without an interview. Before I contact the office, I wanted to check if anybody has been able to do that.

Thank you!

Maybe most people who applied round 1 have already interviewed (I did) and now it is a tense waiting game..... : )

Hi there,

I guess that's not correct. I attended a campus visit recently and there were like 30-40 people attending on the same day. All of them had their interviews on the same day. I believe its just that the applicant pool turned out to be much competitive this year rather than decrease in number of applicants.
